Mrrock101 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Hi Everyone, In a show coming up there is a scene in a very seedy tavern where the director wants some sort of pinky, purple wash. Do you think that Roscolux #047 and #044 would give the correct sort of depressing, unwelcoming feeling? The gels will be rigged in 500W/1000W fixtures. Thanks a lot,Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LXbydesign Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Smokey Pinks a good choice Chocolate as well to make it brown and murky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unfathomable Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I have used the lovely L730, Liberty Green. On a low intensity it is great for sickly, murky atmospheres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryson Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 47 for sure, 44 is a bit bright and cheerful for my money. Maybe 45 would be better if you're tied to Rosco. L127 is perfect, mind, and you're in the UK so Lee is easy enough to get hold of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_s Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I think LXbydesign is on to a winner - using something like L156 from the front will add quite a lot to the dingy effect, in combination with L127 from some angle from behind. L156 works really quite well on skin too. If you want an alternative to L127 then L793 turns into a suitably offensive dirty red/pink when dimmed, although it's probably too intense for the effect you want.

MrBoomal Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Can't help feeling that the more replies you get, the more alternatives you will receive. (and I'm not sure how much that will help you) close your eyes, imagine the scene you want to see, then try the gels you think will fit in with your vision. Trial and error on your own and in rehearsal is the best way to learn. I do agree though that L730 is a good place to start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
